PatternSyntaxException：在Java中使用正则表达式时非法重复

我对正则表达式了解不多，但是我需要匹配一个简单的模式。以下内容应返回true，

Pattern.matches("{\"user_id\" : [0-9]*}", inputLine)

当inputLine为

{"user_id" : 34}

但是，我收到此异常：

java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal repetition

我究竟做错了什么？

该{和}是在Java中的正则表达式方言（和大多数其他方言为此事）特殊：他们是对的重复数量的开闭令牌{n,m}哪里n以及m是整数。因此，错误消息：“非法重复”。

您应该摆脱它们："\\{\"user_id\" : [0-9]*\\}"。

而且由于您似乎正在尝试解析JSON，所以建议您看看Jackson。

应该有加号运算符：

user_id : [0-9]+

仅当字符串必须包含双撇号时才使用双撇号。

当包含大括号的字符串使用时：

\{user_id : [0-9]+\}
